On the home page of AB under the heading 'New to Answerbank' it says "How to post a queston" instead of question.

isn't it => innit
it isn't=> aintn't
don't know=> dunno

[rowanwitch]

I vote yes too... I know this isn't a democracy but maybe under the auspices of a benign dictatorship those devout believers in the Church of Ed could have this token that he hears our prayers

[pa___ul3]

the only acceptable alternatives to LOL or LMFAO and all that jazz are, thanks to Jerry Jackson, "lolonation street" or "roflcopters"

cos => because
woz => was
innit => isn't it
dunno => don't know

This what we've got so far.

Aren't we going to have trouble making fun of the way the lower orders speak now?

Cake = Moist? ;0)

"cos => because

Hey!!

I use two of those,I'm not of a lower order at all, I can't help being short!

:-(

[factor-fiction]

I disagree that INNIT necessarily means ISN'T IT.
It also seems to be a substitute for 'aren't I', 'right', 'you know', etc

[B00]

It's also dialect, and I do tend to use it a lot.

[AB Editor]

So we're against the gentrification of language on AB then?

[B00]

No not at all- except when it effects (affects? never know which one to use!) when I type, then very much so yes ;-)

[sophie_1003]

I like the idea of changing 'lol' so can we change it so it says "Mwahahaha!" instead in an evil laugh type way?

[AB Editor]

It suits the halloween theme. Brill.

(I may have to take it down after the weekend though!)
